Sundown at the Yacht Club

ON BATAM ISLAND, INDONESIA SITS A PRISTINE LAGOON AND HERE IS WHERE THE YACHT CLUB IS. LATE MARCH 2014 JUST BEFORE RETURNING TO USA I WAS HERE WALKING BACK FROM A PRIVATE PARTY AND THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN MY LIFE. THANK MY WIFE FOR EVERYTHING SHE DOES AND IS TO ME. HUNTER IS OUR PRIDE AND JOY (NOV 9TH 2013) 

On the Tiny Island called Seraya, Indonesia.  My mother in Laws resort great place to relax all day long out of the sun windy breeze … 

A two day lay over brought me to this Hard Rock Cafe, it has only been open for two years. Next stop Macau, China.

Mount Kinabalu

After two longs months Offshore, I was able to come into Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia for 9 days of paid time on the beach. It's doesn't happen very often, but when it does it's like getting paid to venture into unknown territory for some site seeing and culture experience. 
  This is a picture of Mount Kinabalu. It is the highest mountain in South East Asia. Over 13,000 feet. After this picture (foreground of my wife and myself). We traveled up to the Starting point where you can walk to this mountain peek. We didn't have enough time and proper clothing and needed equipment to climb to the peek this time. Maybe I'll get a chance later this year. This was one of many things to do in Kota Kinabalu. It's must do if your ever in the Sabah Borneo region of Malaysia. Not a bad vacation spot to bring the family (older kids 12+) to have a great Eco Vacation. More things to do here than climb the mountain and scuba dive (Sucba diving is some of the best in the world here out of KinaBalu).

Highest Mountain in Malaysia

Looking Northeast from the beach line in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia early in the morning you can see Mount Kinabalu.... Another year of diving work in the South China Sea.. I hear some of the nicest scuba diving trip are ran out of Kota Kinabalu. Maybe this year I'll venture off the beaten path and see what I can see.....

WISH YOU WERE HERE

Labuan, Malaysia is a place off the Borneo Mainland. Labuan is a small Island used mainly for Free Port and Energy Expediting Services. This picture is looking out from the WaterFront Hotel, I stayed here for a few days. There are a few Museums here all free to see. One has a full skeleton of a Blue Whale. There is another Art Museum that is very small but holds some really good paintings from local talent, it's well worth the taxi ride to get to it. Hire a taxi by the hour for 50 Ringets an Hour. In US $ equivalent to 16.60$ We kept the Taxi and driver for three hours, not only did he drive us, he was a good guide to all the attractions and local food there. Sea food is a must here. Go for the Chili Crab and Ginger Grilled Fish.
